A Picture Book Review- Doll Trouble by Kim Larson

Doll Trouble by Kim Larson is a charming story that celebrates the special bond between a child and a cherished toy. Many children have a favorite doll or stuffed animal that brings them comfort, confidence, and companionship, and Emma’s beloved doll, Mia, is no exception.

When Mia goes missing and an unexpected mishap occurs, Emma discovers that some things are worth fixing rather than replacing. Her determination and unwavering love for her doll offer a gentle reminder that the things we treasure most often carry memories that cannot be bought.

The original, striking illustrations beautifully complement the story, adding warmth and emotion to every page. This heartfelt picture book is a lovely celebration of friendship, loyalty, and the enduring value of caring for the things, and the memories, we hold close.

“This story reminds us that love isn’t about having something new, it’s about cherishing what already holds a special place in our hearts.”

I’m a nature-loving adventurer and children’s book author/illustrator whose life has been an exhilarating journey. Originally hailing from Ottawa, Canada, I developed a deep fascination for wildlife while chasing after wild animals in the swamps. Although I initially aspired to become a veterinarian, my path took an unexpected turn when I relocated to Italy. In Italy, I pursued my passion for nature by earning a BS in Environmental Sciences and Territorial Management. This educational experience further ignited my love of writing about the natural world and its diverse wildlife. I’m an active member of several professional organizations, including SCBWI, 12x12PB Challenge, ICWA, and the Children’s Book Academy. Constantly seeking growth and connection within the industry, I engage with fellow writers and storytellers. Despite my affinity for all creatures, I humorously admit that my nine cats can be the most challenging animals to handle. When I’m not wrangling my feline friends, I spend my time writing, doodling, playing with clay, gardening, and exploring the enchanting Italian countryside with my husband. I also love preparing homemade pasta, showcasing my culinary skills.

  1. This is a great book! I really enjoyed the girls and the way the doll is fixed up instead of tossed away. Favorite toys are well loved, and they usually look like they’ve been well loved!
